Securing views Berg

Swedish labor movement has traditionally consisted of the unholy alliance between a party and a trade union, that the Social Democrats and unions. We used to have public access, combined with support from the union to the party, which meant that the bourgeois LO voters but the opportunity to defend himself against this, sponsored (S). This regimen is thankfully out for many years, but was for many years a stinking remnant of relations between the unions and the governing party.

Now that the trade union movement is increasingly commercialized, the relations between the two increasingly difficult to sustain. The union-run businesses, which of course is organized as a company and therefore in all respects must operate as businesses. They compete for workers and businesses, including management. The fight for workers in management is a market and that all markets are regulated by the supply and demand, the "thing" is the competence you can buy and the benefits are fixed and variable compensation management negotiates to.

The parameter demand's easy to see - the need for people to manage and distribute the work in the activities there.

The parameter access is difficult. As always, it's uniqueness a person who is the key. If someone has a unique expertise and proven leadership skills, perhaps in combination with relevant knowledge in the nutrition area that a company works, so the person is worth much as such a person can be the difference between success or disaster. Are there several equivalent persons falling price. Simple supply / demand.

A person in a senior position in a company makes a BIG difference, and the analogy with sports is easy to draw. If Inter without Ibrahimovic is top five in Serie A, while with Zlatan wins the league, so it means a big difference to the club. More tickets, more sponsorship, more merchendises sold in the form of shirts, and more. Now if the club has done much more with Zlatan than without him, it is not reasonable to Zlatan earn a decent share of that money? The same is true in corporate management. If a person is the difference between success and failure so do a board would be wise to pay that person a relevant amount. Appropriate, then, to give him a base salary and then a variable component that depends on the outcome - that is called a bonus.

Note that it is the Board who recruit CEOs. A board representatives typically those who have their venture capital familiar with the company, as the Board is elected at the meeting. I put in X million in a company and thus is a major shareholder, it seems reasonable to detväl I have a great influence on who should lead the work of this company, that is someone I consider to be appropriate to add value to me as the owner and for to obtain maximum return on my invested capital.

Social Democrats and trade unions compete the previously sas also in this market with companies like AFM. To recruit enough not likely to look for people where qualifications are cold and economic restraint - it makes more sense better to look for people who can do a good job. If there are people who also know the mission as a calling and is restrained, it is simply to congratulate, but you can not look for this in the first place.

The conclusion is now that the labor movement must explain the rules on the labor of their members and that substitutability is an important parameter, which of course is difficult for a movement whose members largely have actually been training that makes them very much going to be exchanged for another person with similar work. There are, of course, skills gaps among the masons, but not so large that it is a fundamental difference of Skanska if you choose Andersson and Bengtsson.

As long as the realization of the market economy spelrelger case managers and that the pay gap, therefore, is that they are so will debates that AMF debate to reach the surface again and again. As long as we hear the accusatory question of how Carl Henric Svanberg can make X times a person who installs BTSs, so long will the union to have problems with this issue.
